houses to live in. what they will do is they will look at certain school zones and think. >> you know what, this is not safe to be here because it's so lars said in trucks, the views of drivers as well as people in the cross walks and that could be dangerous for the students as well as the teachers and parents moving about the school's own. what's going to happen is they will get a warning. and after that, if they're not moved, then they will be towed. >> have to talk about the forecast as we look live at sfo. meteorologist kyla grogan was explaining how beautiful the weather was and began to should say, yeah, i wanted to hear more of that. i have so you know what a beautiful morning. oh, what a beautiful day i think would would cover it. a gorgeous afternoon. we've got blue skies out here, everybody. we're just warming up and we're getting more of what we had yesterday, which is to say. >> really, really nice temperatures and a lot of sunshine already at 72 degrees in san jose. 71 in dublin

would just stay oakland. why lawmakers in nevada seem ok with forking over 380 million dollars in public money to help a's owner john fisher build a new stadium. a new poll says that most voters in las vegas are not kron four's. dan kerman reports. >> last week the a's were celebrating moving to a minor league ballpark in sacramento for 3 years until the new las vegas stadium is built. the nevada legislature is already shelled out 380 million dollars in public funds to help build that stadium. but a new poll finds residents of las vegas oppose using public money. the emerson college polling survey asked 500 likely las vegas voters. do you support or oppose the use of public money going towards the construction of a baseball stadium for the las vegas a's. well, almost 32% supported public funding. nearly 52% opposed it. and more than 16%

remain unsure. >> everyone but nevada, politicians and the stadium authority seem to see through this. john fisher scam that he's going on. alexander marks is with the nevada state education associations, schools over stadiums campaign, which is trying to stop the public funding of that las vegas stadium. well, those surveyed live in the city of las vegas seen here in yellow, not along the part of the strip where the ballpark will be built marks thinks the poll results are significant. billionaires like john fisher don't want this on the ballot. they know that if this is on the ballot, they're going to probably we just saw what happened in jackson county, missouri last week. we saw the polling they can read the tea leaves like everybody else. it's still unclear if nevada voters will get a say in the public funding question. on tuesday, the nevada supreme court will rule as to whether schools over stadiums can move ahead and collect signatures for the ballot measure to put the question on the november ballot marks remains optimistic at the end of the day, public money should not

be going to billionaires for stadium. public funds should be going to public schools or other essential services. you know, we we keep saying there's more planning of the world class stadium. there has a world-class education system. we've got all these bills that didn't get hurt or or veto like universal school lunches or reducing class sizes. and then our legislature gets focused on this new shiny object for john fisher because he asked them for money and they said, ok, how much? meanwhile, teachers have been saying we'd love a 20% salary increase and they said, well, it's expensive. we can't afford that. dan kerman kron, 4 news. >> time to talk about the forecast again as we look live at the golden gate bridge. look how pretty that is. kyla is back cuyler but not great for great weather for islanders. well, you see these beautiful flowers behind me. haha. i love them, but i love the trees. i love all the blooming. but allergies are getting a little high and even higher as we head across the next few days can see where the medium-high area right now. but we're getting into

high as roll into thursday. now, the good news is we do have some rain expected over the weekend and that does usually help to kind of wash away some of the pollen and things that might be causing you to be a little sneezy out there. but this is part and parcel of having kind of a nice season of rain. and that, of course, we're getting some of this warmth right now in blue skies. and boy, the warmth is pop. and 72 in san jose. we're at 70 in concord. you can see some really nice temperatures right now. even in san francisco about 68 degrees. 59 half moon bay. that's where we're seeing a little cool. wind is relatively calm. the coast gets a little bit of a breeze, but that's about it today. so it's just a really gorgeous kind of top 10 day out there as high pressure is in control. but of course, all good things must come to an end and low pressure will be moving in as we get into the weekend and that will deliver some rain our way. and it doesn't happen until later in the day on friday. but it looks like saturday will be rainy day for some may be the beginning of sunday as well. so get out there and enjoy the blue skies while we can. let's talk about this in our weather pattern here and show you next couple of days. you see a few

clouds start to move in thursday and the evening. and then by friday, they make their way into this rain coming in on saturday with a little bit of sierra snow as well. april showers on the way and it looks like we'll get between about a half an inch, an inch in our urban areas. we could get a little higher total than that out of some of our coastal mountains. so this will be a statewide event. look at some more rain all it's also a good thing, right when it comes to our fire season that we think about that, we get that rain to kind of helps to push that out a little bit and give us that kind of more ground. this a little bit less likely to cause but here we go. we're warming up next couple of days. and then friday, the clouds will move and temperatures dropped dramatically between thursday and friday. and if that wasn't enough drama for you. well, saturday will drop even further. so you can see that just be, you know, trying to get out of the 50's on saturday will start to pull that up a tiny bit on sunday. looks like later in the day sunday. we should start to clear out and then will begin monday. partly cloudy skies. temperatures kind of back to where they should be. maybe a little bit cool but we dry
